Starbird's Ultra Truck is one of the most revolutionary custom trucks ever constructed. This vehicle followed the Predicta, the Forcasta and the Fantabula.  

Monogram Models offered a wonderful kit of the truck which has been reissued three times. At that time, the vehicle was renamed the "Orange Hauler" which name appeared on each of the Monogram kits. Eventually, the Orange Hauler was given away by Monogram in a special contest late in the Sixties when the company's show car inventory had become a burden and when the vehicles were no longer being publically campaigned to promote the kits. After the Orange Hauler was awarded, it disappeared and its present location is unknown
